When your home is on the market, it is always best to neutralize all decor so it can appeal to the highest number of buyers. Making everything neutral helps the buyers imagine their own stamp on the home and better focus on the important features of it rather than getting distracted by the decorating. Unfortunately, many buyers will put a home on their “no” list simply based on easily changed aesthetic elements. To avoid this, paint brightly colored walls and switch out gender-specific decor.
One of the most important areas of the home to keep gender neutral is the bedroom. You want buyers to get a relaxing vibe from this space that says retreat to them and it should appeal to both genders equally. Here are 10 neutral bedroom ideas with some tips on how you can accomplish this any home about to go on the market.
Various shades of brown blended with a complimenting selection of patterns achieve depth in this space.
If you have a window seat, make it inviting with a couple of pillows and a throw.
Hanging curtains above the windows all the way to the floor will enhance tall ceilings and give the room a more luxurious feel.
Laying a colorful blanket or throw across the foot of the bed is a great way to bring in some color, as well as some texture.
With a busy design on the carpet, it is best to stay simple with the rest of the decor. This allows the pattern to grab attention without being overwhelming to the space.
White linens are simple, crisp and clean and will remind buyers of staying in an upscale hotel suite.
Take staging to the next level by adding small touches such as a couple of books on the bed or some wine glasses or coffee mugs on a tray.
Practice symmetry on your end tables, especially one with open shelving. A lamp fresh flowers, and books are great decorative items to include in these spots.
For a streamlined and upscale hotel look, fold the comforter at the foot of the bed and arrange extra pillows at the top.
Some subtle color, such as a soft blue in the comforter, adds character to a neutral space when used sparingly.
When decorating a bedroom in a home going on the market, look at it through a buyer’s eyes and aim to create a space that they can imagine themselves living in.
